Chapter 64 Ji Xinghe Corporal

The dismantling work went well, and I returned to Ji Xinghe in my mecha, on the map Marked it and left with the parts he disassembled. If there is an opportunity, he will come and drag all the three imperial mechas back, and the base that got the news on the other side can also come to pick up mechas during a relatively calm period of war.

After crossing this section with a length of five kilometers, the communication really resumed. Both cripple and Ji Xinghe got in touch with the base. Blind has told everything about the situation. They There’s no need to say too much about the two, just make additions and send mecha’s records back.

“Corp. Ji Xinghe, please confirm your physical condition, as well as mecha’s maneuverability and combat capability.”

The voice in the communicator made Ji Xinghe stunned for a moment, and this Corporal? Sure enough, the promotion speed during the war is not the fastest, only faster, and the speed is only related to the war, only the ability. After blind completed the debriefing first, and transmitted the contents of his mecha recorder, the base 6 side had already completed the assessment immediately.

As a result, Ji Xinghe, the oldest recruit in the Federation, has just left the relatively comfortable No. 6 base for three days, and has been promoted from private to corporal, not only by two ranks in a row, but also from Level 3 mecha warrior is promoted to Level 2 mecha warrior.

“My body is fine, my mecha is fine.”

“We received a self-test report, your mecha is only 89% intact, please check later Be safe during the battle.”

“Okay, thank you.”

The call is over, and no one is complimenting Ji Xinghe’s strength in this kind of communication, even if they see it The people who recorded Ji Xinghe’s combat video couldn’t hold back their cheers at the time. No one will pursue Ji Xinghe for violating cripple’s orders. He has to follow his power in a hurry. Although the military order is bigger than everything, the order issued by cripple is not a real military order. Ji Xinghe proves that cripple and everyone have a serious impact on his strength. misjudgment.

That ‘do you believe me? ‘, if Ji Xinghe asked the people in the base, they might be as willing to believe it as cripple and blind now.

The matter of why the imperial mecha appeared in the great valley has nothing to do with Ji Xinghe, nor with blind and cripple. Their mission has become to support the No. 3 base that is closer to the battlefield. Gap within the valley found the three mecha things, more professional people came to investigate.

Ji Xinghe’s mission is simpler, he didn’t actually receive any missions, some were just the only reason he chose to come by himself, he went to base 3 to get medicine, and then brought the medicine and his spoíls of war back to base 6.

The process of rushing in the great valley is not boring. After the blind is all right, the three people can chat freely on the shortwave communication channel. It can only work within three kilometers in a complex environment, and some noises will appear, but this does not affect the chat.

Ji Xinghe is also very talkative. He has many questions that need to be answered by experienced warriors like cripple and blind.

“Why no gun? I mean, the kind of gun that the mecha can use.”

“Not good aiming, it’s hard enough to control the mecha to do maneuvers, more Don’t say that the mecha is aiming at the gun. And the ammunition is very depleted in combat. Carrying a lot of ammunition will affect the mecha’s maneuverability, and it is not easy to change the magazine.”

Ji Xinghe at this time Only then did I realize how ridiculous it was when he told Major General Tu Yuan that he only needed a gun. Carrying a knife to fight mecha on Alien is more like a joke. Without the powerful power provided by mecha, his knife would impossible penetrate even the weakest armor on mecha’s body.

“But we also have some sharpshooters.” Blind added after cripple’s answer: “Their guns can even shoot mecha straight, but to use their Spear Art, bulky spacesuits won’t work. Well, they are all wearing small mechas similar to the outer skeleton armor of individual soldiers, and I heard that things are quite expensive.”

The height of small mechas is less than 2.2 meters, which is basically the same height as the human body. , circumference, although it is very flexible, the power it can provide is very small in comparison. It is not enough to face the conventional mecha, and can only use firearms and other weapons to fight.

“sharpshooters are really very difficult to deal with. I’ve encountered them before. When we fight with mecha, they assist with shooting, which makes it much easier to fight.” Cripple added: “But the problem is aliens. There are often dust storms on the ground, and it is the kind that does not stop for several months. In that environment, other weapons and equipment except mecha are basically unusable, and they can’t see the target and can’t snipe.”

The speed of dust storms on Alien stars can reach more than 180 meters per second, and the level 12 typhoon on Cerulean Star has a wind speed of only 32.6 meters per second, far less than the intensity of dust storms on Alien stars. Moreover, once the alien dust storm is blown up, it can last for several weeks or even months, covering a huge area. The influence area of thousands of kilometers makes the alien environment more complicated. Every few years, dust storms that can cover the entire alien star will be generated. At this time, looking at alien stars from Cerulean Star with related observation equipment is like looking at a dark red lantern in space.

“What bothers me the most is the dust storm. Not to mention the failure of communication, our satellites are also abolished, and we can’t see anything. The radar and sonar device on the mecha is also abolished, and the surface has become a Open your eyes and be blind…”

“There is nothing you can do about it, the orangutans in the empire who are not afraid of death don’t care about dust storms or not, they like to come out and fight us during dust storms, because we have no satellites, Without the coverage of space firepower, the individual starship is not easy to use. I encountered a dust storm before, and the imperial mecha was only more than 30 meters away from me. >

Both cripple and blind don’t stop talking of which, not because they want to chat, nor because they want to show off their heroic past, just because the two of them are very sure of one thing: Ji Xinghe impossible Only in the base as a mechanic.

It’s not just a question of strength, but also a question of character. Being able to disobey cripple’s orders at that time and be confident enough to ask blind if he believes him can already explain everything.

If Ji Xinghe must go to the battlefield, the experience of blind and cripple can help Ji Xinghe in the future. Just like Ji Xinghe is teaching them fighting skills, they are also teaching Ji Xinghe all kinds of knowledge about mecha combat and alien environments.

There must be my teacher in the three-person trip. They happen to be three of them. When they left the great valley and landed on the surface, it was the afternoon of the alien star.

“I miss the fiery-red sun so much. What kind of Mie scattering makes the sun blue and not winter.”

“I miss the moon more, I haven’t seen it for many years. .Old Ji, how about you?”

“I… miss my granddaughter.”

“Then let’s hurry up, we’ll have enough energy.”

The blue sun hangs high, the yellow-brown land is vast, and the wind is like a knife, chasing the mecha in the three running, the footprints of orange red appear on the ground they step on, which is the most abundant hematite on the alien planet , in the dust of alien stars.

The red iron was like blood, blocking the way forward. When the No. 3 base was in sight, old man, cripple, and blind all laughed.
